welcome
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be the next angel in disguise

13th july 2006 marks the end of the council term for the 28TH Student Council.
some of us even started crying when we heard our LTC song being played with the video although we weren't watching it. it just came naturally la. like it's so fast that one year actually passed by like that.
the walk in was rather entertaining. it was like a fashion parade! and although many walked with red watery eyes. it didn't matter as long as we walked with style.
everything went as planned. until.. pres forgot the pledge! we were like HUH?! why so different from the rehearsals! hahah but we all played along and followed. then came the most cruel line of all stepping down ceremonies. "councillors please remove ur badges" ahh! hahah. the college hymn after that was all out of tune because most of us were all crying. even ANDY la! my goodness i really couldn't believe andy would actually cry! hahah.
when we took the final bow as a council and the curtains drew close, the scene of us hugging n crying was quite nice to see la. at least there were really friendships made through this council term. i tink i cried more when i hugged 3 pple. jingxiu. caiyu. and finally. ian.
JINGXIU. because if not for council. we would never be this close now. and i would not have such a great friend supporting me no matter what and no matter when. in whatever i do. offering advice when i do need it. offering mine as well. it's this connection that has been forged and strengthened through council and going home together.
CAIYU. because my council term began with her. many many many commendation rehearsals till late in the night with her. and my partner on commendation itself. i miss walking down the aisle of St Andrew's Cathedral with her singing crown him with many crowns and onward christian soldiers. i miss sitting up there trying to make her laugh when we're not supposed to. trying to coordinate our footsteps and all. best partners.
IAN. i stopped crying when i was abt to hug him la. but when i did i started crying all over again. idiot. because there was so much that we went through together. excluding being in the same class for the 1st 3mths, we ran the campaign for council together. brownies and cheeky soapbox speech. we were in grad night comm tgt. we headed the log comm for orientation 1 tgt. there were just too many things we did tgt. and everything was so memorable! my goodness. stupid ian made me cry so hard when i hugged him.
but the stepping down was successful. even though i attended it with a high fever of 39degrees. and we know that despite having stepped down, memories made and friendships forged will always remain alive.
14th july 2006 was our first ever council chalet.
it was like a gambling den ok. 3sets of mahjong were being played simultaneously. cards. my goodness. but of course there's also PSII and the guys' favourite winning eleven. whenever i hear them shout when playing the game i'll ask someone "is it really that fun?" hahah. i just can't seem to understand. hahah. but chalet was nice. stayed up the whole night till 6am plus. and only thing was that there weren't really enough beds for those who slpt over. james and i had to sleep in the hall. but i really salute friend because he was sleeping in such an odd position in a chair! but i got the whole sofa to myself. heh. and those who woke up early played mahjong 1st thing in the morning. it was like some addiction. and i was disturbed i couldn't get to slp anymore. RAH. hahah.
but i hope there'll be more outings like this! it's really really fun! (:
photos will be up soon!
and this song will bring back tons of memories that will forever be kept close to my heart..
We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start
[Chorus:]
And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers, on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
[Chorus]
Knew there was somebody, somewhere
A new love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
the end of a journey. marks the beginning of another.
